Judge denies Harvey Weinstein's bid for mistrial after juror complains
A judge has denied Harvey Weinstein's request for a mistrial after a juror complained of issues in the deliberations.
Judge Curtis Farber later denied a defense request for a mistrial, saying he believed the juror was simply expressing discomfort in the deliberation process, noting that he's the youngest on the 12-person panel. Manhattan prosecutor Nicole Blumberg said the judge acted appropriately by reminding jurors about the expectations for them — including that they not speak to anyone about the case unless all members of the jury are deliberating. Whatever the dispute is, she added, it does not appear to be hindering the jury's work, as the panel requested an additional readout of testimony, this time from the third accuser in the case.
